HP Time and Space Covenant

Graling spread his gray wings and hovered in mid-air, and Severus could already see the quiet pool hidden deep in the dense forest below.

"Didn't you say you were going to Prince Castle? What is this place?"

Seeing Severus pursing his lips tightly, with curious eyes in his bright black eyes, leaning against the carriage window and looking down, Voldemort raised the corners of his mouth in a good mood: "You'll find out later .There are some rare aquatic potions in this pool."

Severus looked at Voldemort, and the light in his eyes grew even brighter.

Seeing Severus in this state, Voldemort couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching that fair face, and naturally got a not-so-gorgeous white eye.

"I thought that the IQ of adulthood was enough for you to get rid of this childish behavior when you were a child."

"Well, in Muggle terms, it should be emotional intelligence, Sev." Voldemort's tone was palpable with obvious pleasure.

Looking at the other's hideous smiling face, Severus began to regret not adding something to the birthday cake he made for this man two days ago to impress him.However, remembering that Voldemort finished eating the little cake he made with a satisfied face, which was completely incomparable to the gorgeousness of the house elves.Well...well, forget it.

Severus turned his head and looked intently at the deep green pool hidden in the shade of beech trees below. The extremely fast gray Pegasus pulled the carriage and landed steadily on the open space beside the pool.As the carriage slid across the pool, Severus noticed a black shadow flickering under the surface of the pool.

"That's it?!" Severus' eyes widened.

"It's Kelby the Water Fairy." Voldemort, who had already gotten off the carriage, reached out and took the boy's hand, and led Severus, who was a little dazed, out of the carriage.

"Then, isn't it already dead?" Not even Hogwarts.

"It is said that they lived in this pool all the time, and later signed a contract with a certain Patriarch of Prince. This is also the reason why the Prince family can exist for thousands of years. After all, the war with the Muggle world at that time was very cruel. "

"That's right, but if the Prince family fails to pass on, the contract will be invalid, and Kelby will die with it." A thin, grey-haired old wizard walked out of the thorn bushes at the edge of the jungle, already a little The cloudy black eyes looked at Severus with a hint of anticipation, but the rigid and gloomy expression made people feel unapproachable.

Voldemort turned around and raised his handsome and handsome eyebrows, and looked at the old man who walked over with a teasing smile: "Eamon

De, I think this should be the first time you have personally greeted me outside the castle. "

The expression on Edmond Prince's face softened a bit, but his tone was still cold: "I assume, I didn't take the initiative to invite you before."

Severus glanced at the old man who was supposed to be his grandfather in surprise, and then looked at Voldemort.It was the first time he saw someone talking to Voldemort like this, and Voldemort didn't show any dissatisfaction.And how did Voldemort know about the contract between the Prince family and ancient magical creatures?

Seeing that Severus hesitated to speak, the man with black hair and red eyes smiled slightly, grabbed the boy's shoulders, and introduced to Edmond: "Emond, this is Severus, Severus Ferris Snape. Severus, this is the patriarch of the Prince family, Mr. Edmond Prince."

In an instant, Voldemort felt the shoulders covered by his hands stiffen. The black-haired boy tensed his face, bent slightly unnaturally and bowed: "Mr. Prince."

"Severus." Emond nodded expressionlessly, then turned and led the two towards the bushes.As Edmund approached, a huge iron gate covered with vines emerged from the thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes separated to the two sides, revealing a bluestone path two people wide.Walking to the iron gate, Edmund raised his hand and lightly touched the iron gate with the ring on his right index finger. The silver thorns on the door lock and the family crest surrounded by black gems emitted a white light along the iron gate. The lines on the door became active, and the door slowly opened to both sides, and a solemn and solemn ancient castle appeared in front of Severus.

Passing through several flourishing potion fields and passing a large greenhouse, the three of them entered the gloomy and strict castle.The thick curtains tightly covered the windows of the castle. In the entire castle hall, only two rows of bronze lampposts beside the wall emitted magical light.Edmond led the two of them up the stone stairs at the front of the hall, turned right and arrived at the living room on the second floor not long after.

The living room, like the whole castle, is simple and old, without many ornate furnishings, and the fire in the fireplace is not burning very well, only emitting a faint red light.

It wasn't until the three of them sat down that Edmund looked at Severus seriously again.There were deep wrinkles between the old man's brows, which made his cold face look a bit gloomy: "Severus, Irene's son?"

"Yes." Severus replied stiffly.

"...Really. So, she is unwilling to return to the family even in this situation?" The tone was cold and mocking, but the momentary pause revealed the deep disappointment of the old man.

At the beginning, she abandoned her family for that man, and now she is still

I don't want to look back, even if life is not as beautiful as imagined.Should it be the stubbornness passed down from generation to generation in the Prince family, or the stupidity of not seeing reality clearly.Edmund looked at Severus's dark hair and black eyes, thin cheeks, high nose bridge, and obvious features of the Prince family, but his appearance was obviously slightly softer and handsome-probably these came from his appearance that could only be seen by his appearance. Muggle father.snort!The noble daughter born in the Prince family is so superficial and blind!

"Voldemort, I thank you for bringing Irene's son back, but I still have to verify whether he is eligible to become a member of the Prince family." Edmund's scrutiny stopped on Severus After a long time, he spoke to Voldemort with a low tone and a condensed expression.

Voldemort knew old Emond's complicated mood at the moment, so he didn't intend to say anything more, he just nodded slightly, reassuring Severus: "Of course, you won't be disappointed, Emond."

******

Severus followed Edmond all the way down, and came to a room full of strong magic in the basement of the main castle. Unlike the walls made of dark blue and black stones in other places, the walls here exude a faint The uneven lines in the middle of the floor formed a circular multiple magic circle. On the corners of the pentagram covered by the quilt, five-color gemstones the size of a baby's fist were inlaid, and in the middle, a A crystal clear hexagonal black gemstone is suspended in midair.The non-stop autobiographical black gem is about half the size of an adult's arm, and the white rune characters swim slowly in the entire magic circle.

Edmund looked at Severus, who had a tense expression, and ordered in an arrogant tone: "Go in, cut your palm, and then put your hand on the black moonlight, let us see if there is any remaining in your body. With a bit of Prince's noble blood."

Severus bit his lower lip, raised his chin slightly, walked into the magic circle step by step with his back straightened, cut a wound on the palm of his hand as Edmond said, and then gently covered the black gem with his hand of the top.

In the next second, the entire magic circle suddenly burst out with soft blue fluorescence, and the white characters flowed out from the black gemstones quickly, evenly dispersed to the five-color gemstones on the corner of the pentagram, and then flowed back again, submerged Severus' body, and then the boy's body was covered with a thin layer of white fluorescent light. The gemstones on the pentagram respectively stimulated five colors of light to converge on the black gemstones. Severus' black hair and robes followed suit. The magical fluctuations flew up, and the colorful light made his fluorescent white face seem to be coated with a strange glaze. Severus turned his head and glanced at the shocked Edmund outside the formation. should be put down.

Edmond stared at the radiance in the magic circle imprinted in the boy's black eyes full of shock and confusion, and was stunned for a long time.

When the light gradually dissipated, the rune characters slowed down again, and everything calmed down.

Controlling his chaotic breathing, Edmond led Severus to the first floor with a stiff expression, and told the house elf to take him to the potion room for the talent test passed down from generation to generation by the Prince family.Only then did he return alone to the drawing room where Voldemort was still waiting.

"Irene's son? A half-breed born with a Muggle? How did I never know that a half-breed can have such pure and powerful blood and magical power?"

Edmund stared at Voldemort coldly and gloomyly, his questioning was full of ridicule and suspicion.

Voldemort narrowed his red eyes, "I assume, can you tell me what happened just now?"

Edmund sat heavily on the sofa, without aristocratic manners, drank a large mouthful of red wine just delivered by the house elf, "Prince has triggered the maximum energy of the guardian magic circle that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has been a long time... …hasn’t been seen in hundreds of years.”

Voldemort couldn't help raising his eyebrows because of Emond's words. Severus and he have used meditation to practice that kind of oriental technique since they were young. Of course, the magic power will be purer and stronger than ordinary people, but even the blood... …

Could it be related to that mysterious oriental man again?

"Emond, I think you can be sure that Sif is from the Prince family?"

"Of course, if it wasn't for Prince's bloodline, the magic circle wouldn't respond at all."

The corner of Voldemort's mouth picked out an upward arc: "Then, you can rest assured that the reason why Sev possesses such pure and powerful blood and magic power should be related to his adventures when he was a child. I think Sev should be willing to put these things aside. Tell his grandfather."

Edmund's expression became gloomy, "Voldemort, I assume, you won't use any secret-seeking spells on my young grandson?"

Perhaps His Excellency the Duke of Darkness has a special interest in his still outstanding grandson?After all, an excellent potion master in the future is a big help for a strong person who hopes to master the wizarding world.However, ever since seeing these two people outside the castle, Edmund had vaguely felt the intimacy between them, and Voldemort's gaze at Severus would become extra soft.That kind of natural care doesn't seem like an ulterior motive.

Voldemort leaned back on the back of the sofa in a calm posture. It was the first time that he patiently allowed others to scrutinize him. When Edmond's eyes gradually slowed down, he slowly opened his mouth: "Emond, West Foo means a lot to me, I won't hurt him and will do everything in my power to protect him, Merlin attests."

The pupils shrank sharply, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of Edmund's mouth, "It's an honor."

A wizard's oath is bound by magic, especially when Voldemort still swears by Merlin. Although he doesn't quite understand what he has in mind for Severus, at least by his side, Severus is safe.

The author has something to say: Well, according to the setting, if it is a mixed blood, only one to three of the five-color gems in the magic circle will light up. Even the pure-blooded Prince has not been able to activate all the gems for a long time. .

This is not a nonsense in the text, anyway, that is what it means.
